I was paying about that to Sage and it didn't work properly and cost me a crap load of time so I've been there as well :)

But you can't change an attribute to a composite type in the future easily. As for maven POMs, I use Netbeans "add dependency" and that's about it so it's a non issue for me.

Its pretty simple. It took me a while to work it all out. You have one sheet per financial year with the following columns: Description - text description of transaction. Date - transaction date. Ref - invoice ID/cheque number etc. Amo

I do double entry. Accounts as columns, transactions as the first two columns (desc/id and amount) and one transaction per row. Transactions are added to the ledger with a macro and the ledger columns are locked so there is no possibil

That just sucks. Based on your usage of £ I assume you are in the UK (I am too). Education here is a broken pile of crap. Politics and ridiculous rules and structure galore. For example: I did electrical engineering and nearly got kicked of

Tried it but I can't shift the spreadsheet mentality. Perhaps I'm getting old and inflexible but literally everything has a brick wall somewhere apart from spreadsheets. Edit: I did my accounts on an HP48GX until about 2003, bough

I think this every day. I even bailed on a job to do a foundation degree in medicine but finances and circumstances killed that dead. However its probably better if someone takes a pile of money from society through a business and dedicates

Linode and if you need stuff with a UK company, bigv are a much better deal. Auto-scale - this needs to understand the application layer so you'd probably be better of with PaaS.

Perhaps I have an incredible tolerance for it but I can work white happily with three children making a lot of noise, one of which is a mini tyrannosaurus.

The one you use is better (correct).

So you do you serialise and describe a ring buffer object in JSON? How do you provide a decimal type or a complex number? How do you validate this? How do you describe this object to a foreign system? How do you query the object? How do you

So we're ending up with JSON with schema and query support. In a couple of years: XML is the new best thing (as people finally realise that they've needed it all along).

Great post and I understand now - thanks for taking the time to explain it. I'd love to do it TX side with a couple of op-amps though :)

Possibly right but unfortunately anonymity turns people into total dicks regardless of nationality.

Proving that my previously down voted to hell comment about this being a waste of money was correct...

Firmware?! Last one of these I built had a simple multivibrator and a 4017 plugged into the RF front end which was pretty simple as well - just a crystal osc, mixer and antenna tuning and that was it. That was good for a 6 chan TX at least

Depends on what metric you use. If its money then Google and Facebook are powered by unicorn farts and nothing more.

Yeah but there is no possibility of running one of these on S40 platform as J2ME apps don't run in the background.

Just about everything I install on my phone is suspect these days with respect to privacy and permissions. Why does BBC weather need to write to my USB storage for example and why do I have to let it? The Nokia C2 I have floating around is

Everyone needs MSI eventually. It's the only thing that works properly with SCCM / MOM and you WILL end up with some corporate deployment that requests an MSI. As for WiX and MSI, it throws out bundles as well (.exe containing MSI

They all suck from experience in vastly different ways. I'd do one of the following: 1. Use webfaction's shared email service at http://webfaction.com and stick to IMAP. This is an old fashioned shared hosting system.

A couple of days spent trying to use WiX to build something that bootstraps .Net, VSTO and works on all windows platforms will make Java packaging look like bliss. To be honest if you respect the deployment conventions in java (i.e. think a

If you're after cheap thinkpads I've got no stock at the moment (other than a dead T420)

Not sure why you got down voted for that. I did this not when stuff was stolen but when expensive stuff packed in. I now tend to use budget devices (Moto G and old thinkpad). If you can't afford to replace it, you probably shouldn&#x27

This. I've sold a lot of second hand thinkpads over the years and no one ever asks where I got them from (usually stock auctions - who can pass up 20x T400s for £20 each with a market value of £140+.

I only have 24.5Gb of data including family videos and Nikon NEFs. 128Gb is plenty for me.

It'll be 2022 before I can afford one though... (I still have a 128Gb SSD).

My music teacher at school called conductors "meat sequencers". After reading this, perhaps it was a little bit of an understatement!

A coworker described programming as a one minute long repetitive kick in the balls followed by 59 minutes of enlightening lucid euphoric acid trip but most of that was wasted working out how to avoid being kicked in the balls again and that
